Stuart Woods
Author Stuart Woods' riveting novel spans three generations while also probing deep into Southern small-town attitudes and behavior. The residents of Delano, with their reluctance to disturb a familiar social order, provide the perfect backdrop for this tale of dark secrets and murder.
Over 40 years ago, Woods found a battered chief-of-police badge in his grandmother's house. It had belonged to his grandfather, who had been shot in the line of duty. The story of the lawman's death inspired Woods to write Chiefs, which won an Edgar Award and was made into a popular TV miniseries.

Would you consider the audio edition of Chiefs to be better than the print version?
Have not read the print version but the audio was so powerful! It shocked, surprised and amazed me. Absolutely a keeper.What other book might you compare Chiefs to and why?
I would compare it to Roots in that it stretches over generations and has the same ability to shock with the way people were treated. It reminds me of The Help in that we find that some people rose above that awful attitude to see others as they were not just at their colour.What does Mark Hammer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
That fabulous accent!! and I think the slow pace, while initially a bit hard to get used to, actually suited the book perfectly. He was brilliant.Any additional comments?
More please.Wow.........just Wow
